10 Scars Actors Still Carry From Movies

3. Angelina Jolie - Salt

Patriot Games
Columbia Pictures

Not every permanent scar accidentally earned by an actor on the set of a feature comes about due to being on the wrong side of an explosion or getting caught in the chops by an overzealous fight partner. Nope, sometimes an everlasting mark on one's face can be produced through something as simple as misjudging a roll. As Angelina Jolie found out for herself.

During a fairly standard sequence being shot for the film Salt, the star was supposed to roll across the floor though a doorway for all to see. Yet, Jolie unfortunately got her angles all wrong for the move and slammed her head straight into a desk. Blood began to pour from the wound and Jolie still retains a little scar from the incident, but the actor has since admitted that she thought it was a whole lot worse after the initial bump.

In Jolie's own words, "I couldn't hear everybody well, and I thought 'Oh god, I've done it. I've got a concussion,' But it turns out I just still had my earplugs in, so I was fine."

Thankfully, a little scar was Jolie's only memento from the hazardous roll.
